Singhare ki Puri/Water Chestnut flour Bread
One of the prominent recipes cooked during Navratri( a Hindu festival that lasts for 9 days) or Ashtami(the eighth day of the Hindu Lunar calendar when people usually fast). This recipe reminds me of my early and mid-childhood days when my father used to consume these while he was fasting and I always used to crave for a bite as one is not allowed to touch the food consumed by the person who is fasting and moreover it used to be exclusively cooked for the person who is fasting. The most fascinating thing about this puri/bread is the texture and consistency. The proportion is so up to mark that you don't want to stop eating it. So let's begin.
The Indian recipe we have listed below serves up to 2 people with a 5-6 min preparation time and a 20-25 minutes cooking time.
The key ingredients for this dish are patience and commitment. The rest can be bought online or from your nearest supermarket.
